My First Dating Service Washington DC Blind Date Experience

I recently hired a Dating Service Washington DC to set me up on some blind dates for my pleasure.  This story is going to sound so cliché, but I swear every bit of it is true.

I was talking to a very close friend about how sick I was of trying to meet guys on my own.  I told her I wished there was a dating service that would do it for me, and she told me there was already something like that in Washington D.C..  I was really surprised and eager to sign up, so I did.

I signed up on a Friday, and they had me a date for that Sunday.  Two days later, I was dressing up to meet someone--who I knew absolutely nothing about--at the mall.  The only thing the Dating Service Washington DC told me was that the guy would be sitting on a bench at the front entrance of the mall; he had no idea who I was or what I looked like.  I was stressing the whole time I was getting ready: what should I wear?  If I wear this, will he think I'm too skanky?  If I wear the sweater, will he think I'm too conservative?  Does he like blue?  What about a dress?  Should I up-do my hair, or will that be too much?  Finally, I settle with a knee length skirt, a slightly revealing pink tank top, and my hair half up, half down.

I had butterflies the whole way to the mall.  I was so nervous about meeting this mystery online dating service guy!  What would he look like?  I wondered how cute he would be, what color hair he would have, how tall he was, if he would end up being a fat, old bald guy, or maybe a really sexy hunk that would not be interested in me.  Was he well educated, rich, a complete loser?  What?

I parked in the side lot of the mall because I wanted to get a coffee and walk my nerves out before approaching my date. Plus, I wanted to surprise him since he was probably expecting me to come in through the front doors. When I finally got to where he was, there was no doubt in my mind that the person I saw was who I was supposed to meet. He was the only person there however, much to my dismay, the guy was a total geek! The combination of highwaters, geeky glasses, and the not-cute-at-all (I say that nicely) face was just too much for me. I turned around immediately and decided to take a trip to Wet Seal instead. Hopefully my next Dating Service Washington DC blind date will be better so that I don't have to ditch him.
